New SWAP Force figures leaked

July 23, 2013 / 0 comments

Home from a weekend away with friends to find the Skylanders blogosphere is alive with the news of new figures being leaked. So what have we learnt?

A number of sources seem to be relating the source of the leak to information shared at Comic-Con 2013 (held in Sandiago last week) but I can’t find any more detail than that in regard to who, how or why it was shared.

However… the best information seems to have come from FGTV and 1ofwiisdom.com - both of who point to online stores that have listed new figures for pre-order.

New figures on CoolShop.co.uk highlighted by 1ofwiisdom.com

FGTV points to Kalahari.com who have listed figures (without photos). As well as those we’ve heard of, the site also lists some new SWAP Force character names such as Zoo Lou, Slobber Tooth, Bumble Blast, Mulcan Forge, Gasteroid (some believe this is the finalised name for Pop Thorn), Smolder Dash, Nitro Magna Charge, then some new Lightcores (Flashwing and Warnado) as well as some new double and triple pack combinations!

Check out the FGTV video below:

1ofWiisdom gives us a little more as they point to a UK online store (CoolShop.co.uk) which listed – then removed – a stack of new figures. In addition to the new ones Kalahari lists, Coolshop also listed Scorp and Boom Jet AND provided some images (including a new Trigger Happy, Chop Chop. Chill and Sprocket.

Check out the full 1ofwiisdom.com post here – as they captured lots of screen shots. Some of the more interesting ones – IMO – are presented below.

In summary, the last few days seem to have suggested the following will now also be appearing in SWAP Force:
